Player Profile - Shmendric

It has been a while since I updated this profile, now (Aug. 2019) I am giving it another try to give you an idea, who I am and what I am doing right now pokerwise:

My name is Alex, I am from Germany and I have been playing poker since round about 2007/2008 when it started to become bigger and bigger. Already at that time I played online as well as live with minor successes both on sites such as Pokerstars, FullTiltPoker, Pacific Poker among others and in local casinos.

2011 was somewhat my breakthrough year winnings packages for both the WSOP through 888poker and the EPT Snowfest through Pokerstars. Ever since these two experiences I tried to do trips to different places such as Rozvadov, Vienna, London, Barcelona and Las Vegas every once in a while.

2014 things changed in a very positive way when I became father of my lovely daughter. This and other changes in my job career let to playing a lot less live and online. Travels of multiple days or even more than a week to play poker throughout the year is just no longer that big of a focus when you have a family back home. Also online tourneys are just too time-consuming most of the time, so these are mostly limited to few days in a month with some planning of private and business stuff beforehand.

2019 I managed to travel back to Vegas for the fourth time to play several tourneys during WSOP-time and cashed during my trip for more than $3k. Online the latest MicroMillions gave me a HU-chop for 2nd place (but more money) for ~$2.7k. However, since beginning of this year my focus is to play Pot Limit 5-Card Omaha Cashgame online ranging from the lowest limits of $0.10/$0.25 up to $1/$2 on Pokerstars. With not a whole lot of multitabling I managed to accumulate round about $3.5k winnings in PL5CO until August, my goal for 2019 is to at least double that amount in the remaining months.

That's that, feel free to holler at me in the shoutbox or just drop me a line, if you have any questions!
